But, when you first go to this blog entry it indicates “2 comments” when there are actually 3.

It will be interesting to see if after I post this it will indicate 3 comments or 4 comments.

WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR PROBLEM?

Why not just admit your error, fix the bad grammar and move on. ========================================== Okay, so now you have proofread and edited this piece after the errors were pointed out in a previous comment (which you have deleted).

Still we find, “There is nothing quite like the thrill of pouring through stacks of records . . .”

REALLY? really? Wouldn’t that leave the records rather wet and soggy?

Should we blame a NY Times reporter, the social media maven who insists on posting these cross-promotional, self-serving, third-party pieces, or maybe some anonymous third-world transcriber who was bleary-eyed from reading 1940 population schedules for not knowing the difference between “pouring” and poring?”

This would be so cool. I appreciate the tremendous work you must have gone to in doing this project, and one way or another I want the book, signed please:) Also, am hoping one comes out on Mr. Obama? Now that would be an insurmountable undertaking, but one that would take your success to a height you never dreamed it could go. The number one thing wondered about today in modern world times is his lineage. Wow, you should go for it! Thanks, Nancy ]]>
